Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — grants (52.8%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 26 manufacturers reported payments, led by Medtronic at 43.9% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $17,990, more than ten times the $278 reported in 2022. Among internal medicine clinicians in NJ with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 129 payments — averaging $161.44 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
